Steps from adventurous dining options, within sight of Princeton’s world-class library and just across from The Arts Council, this Residences at Palmer Square townhouse satisfies your appetite for urban living, while statement lighting, textural accents and pops of color modernize the three-story interior. An elevator whisks you all the way from the top bedroom level down to the big basement, full of open space and endless potential. The living and dining rooms strike the perfect balance of comfort and cosmopolitan style with a limestone gas fireplace taking center stage. Hardwood floors laid on the diagonal extend into the kitchen, which is bigger than most other townhouses. Viking appliances join warm wood, natural stone and neutral paint for an inviting look. Beside a boldly styled powder room, a door opens right to a dedicated parking space with EV charging within the secure garage. The second level is fully devoted to the primary suite. Four huge windows light up the bedroom and, past two walk-in closets and the cream-colored bathroom, a study enjoys a view of the courtyard. Above, two more roomy suites, complete with their own organized walk-in closets, share a lofty lounge area. While amazing just as it is, this townhouse has the potential to be further customized to suit your needs and style!

With a lofty feel, southern exposure and a quietly tucked-away position, this like-new townhouse feels refreshingly different from most of its Residences at Palmer Square neighbors. Follow a tree-lined walkway to the covered entrance, where a private elevator awaits in the tiled foyer. Large rooms with 9-foot ceilings and sunlight galore spread out above. Come evening, the glow of a double-sided, gas fireplace can be enjoyed from both the living room and dining room. While every cuisine imaginable - from gourmet tasting menus to locally made ice cream - is within a block or two, home cooks will still be eager to put the suite of Viking appliances to use. Ample counter space, a walk-in pantry and an openly adjoining family room/breakfast area are in line with what one might expect of a single-family home. Upstairs, all three bedroom suites are generously sized with organized walk-in closets and flawless wood floors. Each marble tiled bathroom is spotless and offers a deep tub for long soaks. Being in the epicenter of bustling Princeton makes a car-free lifestyle a real possibility, but reserved parking in the on-site garage is always available. Some photos are virtually staged.
